I'll answer everything in red:

I'm assuming Android phones don't drain at that rate when at sleep. Losing 25% in 6.5 hours when it just sits there "off" on the table doesn't seem very acceptable. This drain is the same with Wifi on or off and Wifi set to always on or always on when plugged in. I've tried turning off location access but that doesn't change anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I've heard some odd things with the blutooth with this ROM (mostly crashes, not battery drain issues). Is your Blutooth turned on? If yes, try disabling it. Also, what is your signal quality like most of the time? I see that you have your mobile data enabled, maybe try disabling that while your phone is in standby too. The lower the signal strength, the harder the phone has to work to keep things happy (both your cell signal and wifi signal and blutooth signal... basically any wireless signal).

Any things you are not using I always try to turn off.

The version you are running is also an older version, maybe try updating to 22.1.0 or 22.1.1 (I had bad luck with 22.1.1 crashing on me frequently and 22.1.0 had a few minor app force closes (aptoide and google play for me, google music for another user)... well, technically not force closes but closes with no notification due to a seg fault, but that is resolved in the nightlies.

22.1.1 can be found a few pages back in the forum and 22.1.0 can be found in the OP.

Another thing you could try would be using a different governor/scheduler combo (I personally like OnDemand with ROW, but some people don't like ondemand). The scheduler shouldn't affect battery much, but affects SD read/write speeds. ROW gives you the best (in my opinion and in my tests with my specific phone) READ speeds with acceptable write speeds. ROW stands for Read Over Write, indicating READ has a higher priority than Write. I have not ever used the CFQ scheduler before, so I am not sure about the performance of it.

On a different note: MHL does not work with the 5/09 nightly. I need to stop reading into things so much, eh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJSteveMX:
Lol! You're OK bro, I don't type here so often because my English sucks!, I like the idea of trying to help them, that talks good things about your personality, the reason that many people try to not use ondemand it's because sometimes your phone overheat and is there when issues happens like sods... So it's a good thing not oc when using that, keep reading because that's what it makes you to start question yourself "I should try this and that " about battery issues sometime is something more simple like life battery (remember that this is a ion battery) so even if you calibrate that it will drain real quick. Thanks for helping everybody on this tread because people like you is what makes me to come back to pacman rom and to be honest, I'm glad that I came because nightlies are awesome!

I know that you like cerux kernel but I suggest you to try uber 2.1 because since 2 days ago I haven't had any rrs or sods or any other issue.

I noticed too that when you first turn your phone on or after a reboot I always got to kernel tuner and click cpu1 off and then on again so that both cpus sticks. That have been helping me a lot!

Like I said before I speak Spanish so sorry if my typing is kind of bad, but I just wanted to tell you thanks for your help. :beer:

I'll give uber 2.1 a try.

Thanks for the info. I know that it could just be the battery, but that seemed like pretty quick battery drain at times for him And thanks for the info about ondemand; I wasn't sure why people didn't like it, but I haven't had any issues with ondemand so was sticking with that usually or userspace. Both seemed to preform well, and provided the least lag while gaming.

And your English is actually really good for being a native Spanish speaker. English is the only language I speak and I have poor grammar and spelling at times LOL.

Do you happen to have a link to Uber? I don't see it in the forums anywhere at least under the T-Mobile T989 threads.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I'm using the latest stable UBER right now and it seems to work quite nicely. Only had 1 SOD and that was when using the fantasy govenor (as soon as I changed it, I got an SOD). Going to report on that forum though.

I like all of the extra govenors and schedulers I can choose from with this kernel, but the boot times are horrid. When I was using stock, I could boot up in 1 minute 20 seconds. On Cerux it is 1 minute 5 seconds. On Uber it is 2 minutes 20 seconds. All these times are "on average"... going to flash the nightly of it and see what boot times are like... probably end up going back to cerux or stock.

Also, was looking at the changelog for todays nightly of P.A.C.-MAN and nothing exciting was changed for us from what I could tell. Sounds like some camera fixes, native fast charge (so we don't need to swap kernels to get fast charge anymore, yay), translations, camera fixes, and updating the CM source. So all good changes for sure, but nothing that makes me want to jump on it.

And 5/09 has been running smoothly for me all day yesterday and so far today. Only 1 SOD, but that was govenor related I believe. 5/09 seems to be pretty stable to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jalialar14:
Good! Will give it another try to the latest nightly then...just out of curiosity, what governor and scheduler are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
Currently I am using SmartassV2 for a govenor and ROW for a scheduler. I am using the UBER version 2.0 kernel though, not stock. If you do use the UBER kernel, make sure not to use the fantasy govenor... when I turned that one on, I got a nice happy SOD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rovert:
So all I changed was the governer to OnDemand and ROW. I left WiFi on. Then I left the phone and went to sleep. 7.5 hours later I'm at 75% so that's better but still not satisfactory. Battery in settings shows it didn't wake up but the "Time in Processor State shows just under 5 hours of deep sleep and 3 hours of awakeness mostly at 384MHz. Better Battery Stats shows a Kernel Wakelock wlan_rx_wake for 2:17.

It seems like everyone is complaining of SOD and RR but the version of Pacman I'm on never has any of these and I like the stability so why upgrade to crashes? LOL. If I can't figure this out then I'm going to the stock Telus 4.1.2 rooted ROM to sort things out. Android has been the pain in my side with Battery life. Everything else has been totally wonderful but battery life..... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
25% drop in 7.5 hours and that isn't satisfactory? Or do you mean it dropped 75% in 7.5 hours? If it is the former, you are getting 30 hours out of your battery with wifi on. And I believe wlan_rx_wake means that your phone was recieving something on wifi (rx is receiving data)... so possibly you have some background app requesting something when data is connected (like facebook or picasa or something).

My phone gets an average of 20-25 hours on battery and that is plenty for me. If you want AMAZING battery but horrid performance, I would say set your min speed to 500 MHz (or as close as possible) then set the govenor to "powersave"... but make sure NOT to check of the set on boot or you may be an unhappy camper. That will save you battery, but you will not get good performance.

If you want performance and battery, you will need to turn things off that you don't use. Like I imagine that when you are sleeping, you are not intentionally downloading anything. Thus you can turn off wifi, bluetooth and data. This will save you battery. I believe there is an option somewhere to turn off wifi when the screen is off which will save you battery life for sure.

Well I am used to my older Samsung Galaxy W dumping 3-5% overnight if I didn't put it on the charger. Why would a phone deplete 25% of it's battery sitting there doing nothing. The only thing I have on is Push email for my work exchange and gmail. I have had those 3-5% per 7-8 hour rates before but I'm having trouble getting that again. You should see what happens when I actually use my phone. My battery is dead within 6 hours. I am so not cool with finding a place to plug in throughout the day because I know it could be better. Much better!

The best I've had was 3 days and using it lightly.

Something is using up power and Bettery Battery Stats is not helping....what else can I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
what was the mAh on your old phone battery? I am thinking for your needs, you may want to invest in an extended life battery (something in the 3000 mAh range). The T989 I believe has a 1500 mAh battery in it. It looks like the stock battery for the Galaxy W is a 1500 mAh battery as well. But depending on the model you have, you would have had a MAX cpu of 1 Ghz or 1.4 Ghz. I'm guessing it is the slower one (SGH-T679M) that you had. Lower MAX CPU speed will save you battery for sure. What do you have your MAX CPu set to? try dropping it to 800 Mhz or 1000 Mhz and set your min to 200 MHz or the closest you can but higher for each of those (ie 384 instead of 192 and 810 instead of 756 or 1026 instead of 972) and you should notice a substantial battery life increase. Also, decrease your screen brightness, try disabling blutooth and wifi and anything else you won't be using while sleeping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
The stock battery on the T989 is 1850, my old vibrant (T959) had a stock battery that was 1500
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rovert:
I believe the W has a 1500mAh battery and a single core 1GHz processor which means nothing. As power increases, energy efficiency increases. The T989 has an 1850mAh with a dual core 1.5GHz. Dumming down my T989's max advertised CPU power feels like I'm being cheated out of what I purchased. When I look at the CPU states, my phone is not even up in the high end of what the CPU offers so that makes limiting max CPU redundant. The phone is still using power somewhere else and I really want to solve this so it helps others know that they don't have to just "live with" 8 hours of battery life. My iPhone can survive a full day of abuse. I've had 2 days of full usage before. I've seen the light..I just need help to troubleshoot because I know some of you "read too much"...hahaha

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
well, without physically having your phone, it is tricky to figure things out. BUT If you can send me a few logs, I can give it a shot... so I will need you to run a few commands as root from your phone (either via adb shell OR terminal emulator or similar app on your phone)

su

cd sdcard

mkdir logs

cd logs

service list > service.txt

ps > ps.txt

top -n 1 > top.txt

logcat -d > logcat.txt

lsmod > lsmod.txt

then zip those suckers up and pop them in here. I'll do my best to help from there... those logs should be sitting in a folder called "logs" on your internal SD card then. Feel free to change lines 2-4 for wherever you would prefer to store the logs, but the 5 text files I would like called that so I know which one corresponds to which command (although they should be obvious based on the output).

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Last night I pulled it off the charger to go out. Half way to downtown which as 20 minutes my phone was feeling warm and I noticed it just dumped 10% right away. I decided to take the battery out for full reset and left it out for 5 minutes then put it back in. The phone got warm again and lost 5% then stabilized. I have found that many ROMs have done this on my phone... It's pretty confusing. I think I'm going back to a stock/rooted 4.1.2 JB ROM today to test.

oh cool... well, not cool that the server crashed, but cool that they are switching to a faster one. Thanks for letting me know. I'm anxious to try the next build of this as I am having issues with 1 app closing on me (no message on screen about the close, and my logs currently are disabled thanks to one of my init.d scripts, so I need to tweak those a little to get logging back as well as fix a few other minor things that got screwed up... Think I went a little flash happy and now have 21 scripts in my init.d folder, some of which are conflicting... so I need to tidy that up a LOT).

But I am still loving the ROM. I'm running the 5/09 nightly and having very few issues with it (occational SOD, but it is so infrequent that I'm passing it off as probably due to one of the tweaks I have done OR govenor/scheduler OR OC issue... or could be something with mpdecision or the thermal monitor... lots of things I can play with to try to fix it... and on top of that I swapped out the Kernel, so it could even be a kernel bug. But until I get my logs back up and working, I'm stuck just making random guesses on the crashes).

Thanks for the info and thanks for keeping me informed about this awesome ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

I would agree with most other users on this thread: try clocking the speed down. If you are noticing your phone getting hot, that is a sign that it is either being overworked (busy CPU will result in faster battery drain) OR the battery discharging quickly.

Also is this the factory battery or a 3rd party battery? If you look at settings->Device->Battery, what app does it tell you is eating up the most battery? Mine tells me "Android OS", but if I use GSam Battery monitor, it tells me that the kernel is eating up the most of my battery with Android system using the second most... but that really just means not much is eating my battery. I get 20-30 hours with normal use and that seems decent to me... if I disable wifi, 3g, and blutooth, clocked my speeds to stock and used the stock governer/scheduler, I could probably get even better battery, but my phone would not preform as well as I would hope.

Also, since this is a 4.2.2 ROM that is NOT based on stock Galaxy S 2 (SGH-T989) ROM, it may have some background processes that are not happy with our phone. If you want to use a ROM more optimized for the SGH-T989, I would look at a 4.1.2 ROM instead of 4.2.2 ROMs as from what I can tell, all of the 4.2.2 ROMs for the T989 are ported ones, so I imagine they have a little bit of bloat that our phones don't actually need. I personally have no issues with 20-30 hour battery with normal use. It is better battery than when I first got my phone running stock no root - had about 15-20 hours on the battery.
